CHICAGO — February is National Hot Breakfast Month, and Jimmy Dean is celebrating with several new items across its breakfast lineup, the company announced today.

Available in the refrigerated section of grocery stores nationwide, the newest addition to the Jimmy Dean line of convenient, fully cooked options is the:

Jimmy Dean Snack Size Chicken Biscuit Sandwich — ­ two handheld mini chicken sandwiches on a biscuit, bringing Southern-style chicken to the breakfast table. Ready in about a minute from the microwave, these mini sandwiches offer chicken-lovers a quick and tasty breakfast or a satisfying anytime snack; and

Jimmy Dean Meat Lovers Sandwich — ­ two tasty Jimmy Dean sausage patties, egg and cheese on an English muffin. The sandwich contains two times more meat than the leading breakfast sandwich, offering consumers a hearty, satisfying breakfast to start the day.

"As we head into the heart of winter and mornings become increasingly colder, nothing beats a warm, savory breakfast with protein to start the day," Grabow said. "Knowing that our consumers are rushed during the mornings and shouldn't have to forego a hearty breakfast at home, we've expanded our line of frozen and refrigerated convenience breakfast offerings to make it easier for them to enjoy their favorite Jimmy Dean breakfast in minutes."
